MAYBE A BEAR ATE IT!
This picture book, illustrated by Michael Emberley, was published by Orchard Books/Scholastic Press on January 1st, 2008. This story, told by an endearing creature, is the story of how bereft this creature feels when it's bedtime, and it has lost its favorite book-of-the-moment! First, bewilderment, then worry, and then panic sets in. "Maybe a bear ate it!" the creature worries. "Maybe a stegosaurus stomped on it!" These thoughts are much too worrisome! That's when the creature is compelled to go and look for its beloved book — because it's impossible to go to sleep without it!
